Ort was born 35 years ago in the transit tube warrens under the ‘Free Zone’ slums between the Mormon Compound and Airfield-City walls. He first made a successful living as a thief, popping up to the surface to steal what was needed by his clan. After an extended period of slim pickings and borderline starvation Ort was persuaded to join the Radiationist cult.

Ort’s ability to detect mental mutations was soon discovered and he was sent south as part of a special team tasked with locating and kidnapping latent mutant children for incorporation into the ranks of the cult. During the first expedition they were tracked and cornered by a vault 57 special operations team. Ort was captured and found to be looking for a way out of the cult. The team sent him south with a handwritten note and directions to the vault. Ort survived the journey and arrived at the vault 6 days later. Finding that Ort was skilled in GUNS and REPAIR, 1st Sgt. Drago recruited him into Ordnance Company where he now maintains guns and ammunition in the Number 1 Secondary Bunker workshop.
